Block Fiesta At Tech In Michigan, First Race Now Underway



Here's a better look at Ken Block's new Ford Fiesta rally car going through tech inspection before the Sno*Drift Rally in Atlanta Michigan yesterday. Look carefully and you can see inside the door frame that the car was once red (same thing inside the hatch). We're going to go out on a limb and say that this is the same Olsbergs-built Fiesta which Kenny Brack drove to victory over Travis Pastrana in the X Games last summer. Really, how many of them can there be? 

That video and more after the jump.



Further speculation says it's also the same car (although de-winged and detuned) that Marcus Gronholm drove up Pikes Peak last summer:



Sort of ironic that it's now in Block's hands, huh? Racing started at 2:51 Eastern time today.

The Pikes Peak vid is phenomenal......PP Hill Climb is on my list of things to witness.
